Here’s a
school fundraiser that’s fun and simple. It merely asks your child to be
creative, not a door-to-door salesperson. All your child needs to do is
creative artwork. The artwork is then turned into official U.S. postage and
note cards. Everyone benefits: your child has fun, you get one-of-a-kind
official U.S. postage and note cards, and Ryan Elementary PTA gets
much-needed funds for education. Get ready to make your mail a masterpiece.
These items make excellent gifts for friends and relatives. For every set of
20 ArtStamps ordered, $5.00 returns to Ryan PTA. Overall, nearly 55% of
every sale returns to Ryan PTA, and to purchasers (in the form of official
U.S. postage).
Albertsons Grocery issues checks quarterly to Ryan Elementary PTA with the
amount donated based on a percentage of purchases where a Ryan Elementary
Community Partners Card was used. Average quarterly checks have been over $400.
The card is free, works nationally and is simply presented each time you check
out. Just simply have the cashier scan your card when you pay. As of September
2007 Albertson’s will donate 1% on the first $50,000 dollars spent per quarter
and 5% on everything over $50,000 per quarter. Thank you for your support! Ryan
Rocks! Albertsons Community Partners cards are currently being issued to each
family at Ryan Elementary. Look for your families card attached to a letter in
your childs family folder.

Every year millions of pounds of inkjet, laser, fax and copier cartridges as
well as cell phones are tossed into landfills. Ryan Elementary has teamed up
with Cartridges For Kids® to help keep these items out of the landfills and
generate funds for our school. Bring in your used cell phones and empty inkjet,
laser, fax, & copier cartridges to the box in the school foyer. Ask your
employer to sponsor us by saving these as well. This is an ongoing fundraiser so
save them year-round, as we can earn up to $5 for just one cell phone or
cartridge.
